Obtaining an Email Account

Instructions to Access your SLU E-mail and Banner Self Service

Your SLU Net ID is given to you and is your unique SLU username. It is the same as your SLU e-mail address before the @slu.edu. If you are not sure what your e-mail address is, visit slu.edu/peoplefinder and search for your name.

A default SLU Net password is given to you, as well. Your default SLU Net password is "Id" followed by the last six digits of your Banner ID. For example, if your Banner ID is 000123456, then your default password is Id123456. Your Banner ID was included in your offer letter and is a nine-digit number beginning with zeros.

Before logging in to your e-mail or Banner Self-Service, you must change your default password. To do so, visit SLU's password management site: password.slu.edu.

Review the requirements for a new password.

Enter your default password in the Old password: box.
